Speaker boxes. To rebuild or not to rebuild

Morning gang,
I picked up a free set of Technics 3 way SB-2860. I cant get any good sound out of them. No bass and all tinny.
Is there a speaker rebuild kit on a website that I can buy drivers, mids and tweeters as a kit? Any recommendations? These wont be my premier set, so we can go average on the expense. But, I think the cabintes are in very good shape and it would be a waste just to toss  them?
Thoughts?
Thank you
Marty

If the cabinets are in good shape, they are probably worth a re build.  They are a 15 inch 3 way from the 1980's from a rack system.  Tweeters are a 3 inch cone, mid is a 5 1/4 inch cone.... cheap electrolytics in the crossover.  I wouldn't mess with a repair period.  If the boxes look good,  I'd probably salvage the woofers, replace the mid & tweeter and customize a simple crossover.  You could get very satisfying results.
